YOUTUBER CHANNEL: BRENDA TAN @WORDWEED

Tan started blogging in 2010, but when some of her videos became popular in 2015, she made the switch to Youtube. “It was the video on double-eyelid surgery recovery that kick-started my channel. People were really interested in the topic and I thought it would be great to share it in an informative and educational way because so many people get it done but so few talk about it,” she says.

She feels a strong sense of pride at being known for the quality of her videos and her affable personality, which comes through on screen.

“I probably should care more about the numbers since it’s a fulltime job. But I firmly believe that as long as you do a good job creating interesting and refreshing content, people will feel inclined to share it and talk about it.”

Follow her for: Helpful, relatable videos offering useful information, from beauty reviews and tips to food recommendations. She also sometimes covers hot social and education issues.

She’s like the girlfriend who shares her thoughts on topics big and small. “I love creating conversations around these topics, especially the ones harder to digest, so that we can progress as a community by building awareness and sensibility.”
